Like no other museum you’ll visit in D.C., the International Spy Museum keeps kids – and adults — engaged with its interactive and technology-driven exhibits that not only trace the sordid history of espionage but also allow the kid in you to climb into air ducts and spy on people below, adopt a fake identity, and participate in scavenger hunts and undercover missions. See Cold War accoutrements that would make Sidney Bristow proud, including the “Kiss of Death,” a 4.5 mm single-shot pistol disguised in a lipstick tube, or the KGB coat with a buttonhole camera. One of the city’s most popular tourist destinations, the International Spy Museum is always busy, whether high tourist season or not, so be prepared to weather the crowds (plan to get tickets in advance) and spend a couple hours going through the impressive, privately held exhibit.
